Today's blog challenge

In honor of Father's Day that's coming up this Sunday, tell about a favorite memory (either in childhood or recent years) you have with your own father. Also, tell us about your husband...what are some of the big things, as well as the little things that make him a great father.

One memory I have of my dad is when I was really little. Before I started school, so probably 3 or 4 years old. I was the youngest, so I was the only one at home during school for a few years. My dad would always come home for lunch. I would tag around with him in the back yard, or where ever he went. We looked at the garden, we walked around the yard, we sat at the table and ate lunch. It didn't matter, I just wanted to be close to him. And he always let me. I was such a Daddy's Girl.

My husband is a fantastic dad. I think being an older dad, he has a lot more patience than some younger dads. He loves spending time with his son. He is always excited to see him at night when he gets home. He sits on the floors and plays trains, even when he really doesn't get to play. :) He reads to him, he will push him on the swing for as long as Billy wants. He plays with him in the bath, and tells him 'Sneaky Pete' stories at bedtime. They have Billy/Daddy day once a month, where he takes him where ever Billy wants to go. (That should be interesting once he gets older!)
He worries about him constantly, worse than any mother! He wants so much for him to be happy. Billy couldn't ask for a better Daddy!
